What Rifle?

[Grizz N Hunt5]

Okay i'm new here and i'm also new to deer hunting and more types of hunting. I have only been dove hunting and squirrel hunting. I really want a rifle for Christmas to hunt deer for the last of the season. I'm 14 and i'm looking for a gun that is under 600$ that doesn't have that much "kick" on it. Also i've been looking at the .223 and .308, I just don't know what type of brand and all to get. So would anyone like to help a noob?

Tikka T3 great gun for the price.

What about the caliber?

[no_skill]

Grab a Tika .243 or any .243. The 243 has the power to kill a deer and yet has hardly any recoil. You can pick Remington .243 up at wal-mart for about 300$ Then that leaves you 300$ for a decent scope

FYI most modern day guns are going to be really accurate. Or atleast accurate enough to kill a deer.

Alright thanks for the information. I might head up to Gradys to check out some of the guns tomorrow.

Hmm yall think a 243 can kill a deer at 100 yards?

Savage in either 243 or 260 Rem.

Grizz, a 243 can cleanly kill deer at 300 yds! The question is can you hit one in the vitals at whatever range you intend to be shooting.
No amount of power can make up for poor shot placement,so please pick a good rifle and learn to shoot it well.
